Bedwetting (or nocturnal enuresis or sleepwetting) is involuntary urination while asleep. It is the normal state of affairs in infancy, but can be a source of embarrassment when it persists into school age or the teen or adult years. Find others who are coping with a bedwetting problem and share your experiences and questions.

Hi. Technology didn’t really help. I tried a bedwetting alarm. Well, it woke everybody up but me. Mom tried cloth diapers with plastic pants but then I had to wear disposable diapers. That’s helped a lot because I could diaper myself. I know it’s not good for the environment and more expensive in the long run but I feel safer. I also tried medications but it had too many side effects.

I didn't become incontinent until I was 42. Since then, the changes I have seen in adult diapers has been great. Not having to change as often makes my life so much easier. As for the medications and other devices, they have been of no use to me.

As with all the new medications, operations, electronic devices and such that can be used today, there are side effects, so one has to determain which of the side effects can one live with when choosing some of the new technology items available.

Now I'm a year older than this time last week I can report that nothing has changed, although...

    In 2013 I had an accident resulting in spinal injury at the base of my neck with paralysis from there down, spasticity (muscle contractions and spasms) and double incontinence. Both my anus and my urethra have been left closed except with manual intervention.  I hardly ever pass urine via the usual route (I have a suprapubic catheter passing directly into my bladder about 2 inches below my...
